TOWN OF
ANIWA-- From Shawano County Centurawno
1853-1953:.
The Town of Aniwa was detached from the Town of Hutchins, and created
May 5, 1885. That part of Shawano County was first settled about 1881.

Charles St. Peters was elected to serve as the first town chairman.
The first supervisors were Wenzel Mondl and Andrew Rieland. Henry Carpenter
was the first Town Clerk, A. S. Higgins, assessor, and Frank Steckbauer,
treasurer.

About that time workers were getting 15 cents per rod for cutting out
roads, and $1.30 per rod for laying corduroy. For road grading a worker
was paid eight cents per rod, and for digging a grave for the poor, $1.00.
